Air Force's pursuit of the Commander-in-Chief's trophy will begin with some pretty cool looking blue helmets.
The Falcons debuted their new lids for Saturday's Navy game on twitter Tuesday.

— Air Force FB Equip (@AFFBEQUIPMENT) October 1, 2014 The helmets are basically a reverse of Air Force's standard helmets with the blue fading to white at the front and bottom of the helmet.
The game with Navy kicks off round-robin series with Air Force, Navy and Army that will determine the winner of the Commander-in-Chief's trophy, which is given to the top football service academy.
We'd love to see Navy wear its white helmets for the game too. If the Midshipmen do, the game may be the best-looking special helmet game of the season.
To get ready for the game, former NFL and Georgia RB Herschel Walker spoke to Air Force on Tuesday. Walker still looks like he could suit up and play, though we'll probably be saying that when he's 80.
Thank you to the great @HerschelWalker for coming to speak to the team today! The guys really appreciated it! http://ift.tt/1uDNSG4
